Music Monday - Matchbox Twenty "Don't Get Me Wrong"

Blast for my high school/college years! I can’t believe Matchbox Twenty is back with new music. Love it.

Next up on the TBR pile:

Music Monday -- iPod Shuffle

Matchbox Twenty "3 am" 

O.A.R. "Wonderful Day"

Sara Bareilles "Uncharted"

Music Monday -- 101 Faves 90s Edition (Part 2)

As part of my ongoing Day Zero Project, I've made a list of my favorite 101 songs of all time.  To help cut down on the possibilities, I took songs only from my iTunes account.  Each edition will include ~5 songs with a theme.  Enjoy!

Matchbox Twenty "3 am" -- One of those songs that I still know every word to...  I loved early Matchbox Twenty.  I even saw them in concert at Ball State in 2000.

No Doubt "Sunday Morning" -- While many would go to "Just a Girl" or "Spiderwebs" from Tragic Kingdom, I always go to "Sunday Morning."  For added fun, a live version.

The Offspring "The Kids Aren't Alright" -- Another band I saw in concert during college.  I love their older stuff, but this song holds a special place in my heart.  Too many of the situations in this song reminded me of people I knew in high school.  Kind of sad, but I still love it.

Hole "Celebrity Skin" -- Another concert band.  I was supposed to see them with Marilyn Manson, but they dropped out of the tour.  Thankfully they came a few months later during a Christmas concert with Orgy and two others bands.  Okay, it may not have been a Christmas concert, but it was four bands...

Music Monday -- 2000

As part of my ongoing celebration for my 30th birthday, I am highlighting some popular songs from throughout my years.  Songs were picked based off of a list of Grammy award winners and Billboard Top 100.  Then, I chose my favorites to highlight.

Year: 2000

Book: Unknown

Music Selections: 

1. Jars of Clay If I Left the Zoo -- Love old Jars of Clay.
2. Silverchair "Anthem for the Year 2000" -- I graduated high school in 2000.  This was my friend's and I's unofficial song.
3. Vertical Horizon "Everything You Want" -- Obsessed with this song during the summer.
4. Matchbox Twenty "Bent" -- I really really liked Matchbox Twenty for a while there... and I got to see them in concert this year.
5. No Doubt "Ex Girlfriend" -- I think my favorite No Doubt song, although Tragic Kingdom is the best album.

Music Monday -- 1998

As part of my ongoing celebration for my 30th birthday, I am highlighting some popular songs from throughout my years.  Songs were picked based off of a list of Grammy award winners and Billboard Top 100.  Then, I chose my favorites to highlight.

Year: 1998

Book: Readings on Shakespeare's The Histories

Music Selections: 

1.  The Offspring "Americana" -- I loved The Offpsring, all the old stuff.  The new stuff just doesn't have the same fun.  I think this was their last record that liked.  And I saw them in concert either 2000 or 2001.  Great times.
2. Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" -- One of my all time favorite songs.  I've recently caught this song on Lithium multiple times.  Can't help but stop and sing along.
3. Matchbox Twenty "3 am" -- Another high school favorite of mine.  I hear they have a new song.  Haven't heard it yet, but I'm sure it won't compete with 3 am.
4. Savage Garden "Truly Madly Deeply" -- A gooey love song.
5. Barenaked Ladies "One Week" -- I still can't sing the entire song, but I love it anyway.  Plus, it was on the soundtrack for 10 Things I Hate About You, which is one of my favorite high school era movies.
